Britons being warned to leave Ukraine amid concerns of a Russian attack dominate Saturday's papers.
Saturday's front pages are dominated by warnings from the UK and US for citizens to leave Ukraine amid concerns that Russia could invade the country within days. The Daily Mail reports that thousands of Britons have been told to leave the country immediately, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying he "feared for the security of Europe". Meanwhile, the White House has said there is a "very distinct possibility" of conflict within days.
The latest advice from the Foreign Office came shortly after Defence Secretary Ben Wallace flew out of Moscow following talks with senior Kremlin figures, the Times reports. Mr Wallace has said that he was informed that Russia had "no intention" of invading Ukraine. Thousands of Britons are believed to be in the country, the paper adds. Meanwhile, US President Biden has said "things could get crazy very quickly".
